* With a cable length of more than 10 m between the FE260 and the volume corrector (intrinsically safe
electrical circuit) the maximum frequency cannot be guaranteed. (See B-5 and Chapter 0).
** With a smaller load (lower switching current) the frequency which can be transmitted is reduced.
In this case a resistance can be wired in parallel to the load so that in total a switching current of approx.
40 to 50 mA (no more) is produced. The resistance should have a rating of 2 watts or higher.
Note that the switching current at frequencies above approx. 1 Hz cannot be measured with a
commercially available ammeter (multimeter). You can connect an ammeter to the input of the device
which is to be later connected to the FE260 to determine the switching current.
